Chicago Southside Renaissance thru Gallery Guichard Bronzeville Artists Lofts

Andre and Frances Guichard owners of Gallery Guichard

Andre and Frances Guichard have generated a Renaissance on the Southside of Chicago in the Bronzeville area. I have heard about the moving of the Gallery Guichard from its former location

at 35th & King Drive to 47th & Vincennes Avenue for several months now. However, I did not realize that this innovative couple has created an inspirational art incubator for the community. This concept already exists downtown and the northside, but this is a first the southside of Chicago.

Bronzeville Artists Lofts Residents

Gallery Guichard offers art workshops for the south side community plus artists lofts which house dancers, musicians, actresses, fashion designers, sculptors, painters, and other creative artistic people.
